When Bethesda Shadow dropped Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, among another role game, Clair Obsurpur: Expedition 33, most thought that there could be only one winner. But, according to the publisher Claira Obsur, not only forgetfulness NO Harm clair obsurpur, Clair Obsurpur actually used the release of Oblivion because it increased the emotions for the RPG genre.
That’s what he says, senior portfolio manager of Kepler Interactive, Matt Handrahan, who said Business All about Clair Obsurpur: Success Expedition 33 against the opportunities.
First, some background. RPG fans were dealing with a challenging choice between spending hundreds of hours in Cyrodiil Oblivion or going on an expedition to remove the bolenica in Clair Obsur. The introduction of two games in the same week caused both happy and frustrated RPG fans reactions, as well as the insolent commentary of Kepler Interactive himself.
In the X/Twitter post, Kepler released the edited picture of the characters from Clair Obscer entering the Oblivion gate, with the text “OMG is like Barbenheimer” in A amusing nod to the simultaneous release of Barbie and Oppenheimer movies in cinemas on the same day in 2023.

Microsoft, who is the owner of the developer Bethesd and who has strongly supported Clair Obsurt since its disclosure on the Xbox Showcase last year, also found himself under fire in familiarizing with Clair Obsur, and both games are titles from the day of the game.
But according to Handrahan, there was nothing to worry about. “We always knew that Expedition 33 has a very specific identity,” said Handrahan. “When I was in the press, I saw RPG in the Western and Japanese RPG as completely different appeals and audience. I knew many people who play Elder Scrolls, which would not necessarily play the final fantasy and vice versa.
“In addition, before we rolled, we had our own momentum and we felt confident that we could stand next to him. I think there were other aspects, such as the price point, and inclusion in the game in the game … so we knew that we would be interested in the game. He drew attention to high quality RPG this week and everyone thought and talked about the genre.”
Clair Obtur has become a great hit for Kelar and his French programmers, Sandfall Interactive, selling over 1 million copies in just three days and by publishing impressive complexity numbers of players on Steam. It is done so well that the French President Macron praised a team of programmers.

The game company cited data from Ampere, which show that 35% of Clair Obsurgur players also played with Remastered, which means that there was significant overlap. Much is related to the starting both games in Game Pass, and the percentage of overlapping has fallen for Steam and PlayStation 5 players.
